Verse
D5 E5 G5 A5
I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two

Lying a-wake in bed then tuning in on you

If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
F#5 G5 A5
Oh oh.

They took the credit for your second symphony
D5 E5 G5 A5
Rewritten by machine and new technology

Ohoh I met your children
F#5 G5 A5
Ohoh What did you tell them ?

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
